Patent EP-1668279-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SPRAY RICHARD
IPC: F16K7/06
Filed: 2004-10-01
Abstract: The present invention provides a faucet for tapping a liquid, stored under pressure of a gas in a container that has less moving parts subject to wear or breakage, and has a housing made of multiple parts which can be disassembled so the faucet mechanism can be easily cleaned, repaired, or replaced. The faucet mechanism contains a piece of flexible tubing (104) and an arrangement of a pinch valve mechanism (212) that compresses the flexible tubing to shut off flow of liquid through the tubing. In one arrangement of the present invention, since the housing does not move and does not come in contact with the beverage being poured the housing is made of a non-metallic material, such as a plastic or petroleum-based material, which is less expensive than the previous brass or stainless steel housing.

Abstract: A storage device system includes an
information processing device and at least first and
second storage devices. The first and second storage
devices are equipped with first and second storage
volumes, respectively. The information processing
device generates first data including a first
instruction that is to be executed by the second
storage device, and sends a write request to a first
write request section to write the first data according
to a first communications protocol in the first storage
volume. When the first data written in the first
storage volume is the command to be executed by the
second storage device, the first storage device sends
to a second write request section a write request to
write the first data according to a second
communications protocol in the second storage volume.
The second storage device executes the first command
set in the first data that is written in the second
storage volume.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to correctly generate a motion state quantity anticipated by a driver with respect to an operation of a steering handle by a driver, thereby facilitating driving a vehicle.  In a vehicle steering apparatus, front wheels are controlled to be turned by a computer program processing. A displacement/torque conversion section 51 converts a steering angle ¸ into a steering torque Td that is in relation of exponential function. A torque/lateral-acceleration conversion section 52 converts into an anticipated lateral acceleration Gd based upon the steering torque Td. A turning angle conversion section 55 calculates target turning angles ´d. A turning angle correcting section 61 obtains a slip angle ² of a slip generated on a vehicle. Then, the turning angle correcting section 61 corrects the target turning angle ´d based upon the obtained slip angle ², thereby calculating a corrected target turning angle ´da. A drive control section 63 controls the steered wheels to be turned into the corrected target turning angle ´da. According to this, a driver can correctly perceive the generated anticipated lateral acceleration Gd, whereby he/she can easily drive the vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a light emitting display device, such as an organic electroluminescent device, and a method for manufacturing the same. Particularly, the present invention relates to reducing electrical resistance between the scan lines and the cathode electrode layers so that scan line signals do not degrade significantly degrade. One way to achieve this is to use materials to form the conducting layers of the scan line and the cathode electrode layers such that the conductivities of the conducting layers and the cathode electrode layer are as identical as possible. For example, if a same metal such as aluminum is used to form both the conducting layer and the cathode electrode layer, the resistance would be significantly lowered. In addition, a large contacting area may be provided.

the pump shaft rotates in a forward direction or reverse direction,
the pistons reciprocate to supply hydraulic oil sucked from a tank
T to a suction port P of an operation control valve 90. Thus, the
driving force distribution apparatus can apply relative rotating
forces to right and left axles even during backward running, with
no increase in the size of the apparatus.
